I’m not a farmer and don’t have a strong understanding, but after listening to a recent Mises podcast (The Human Action Podcast) on the subject of healthcare, I’ll chime in anyway. Lol.
There were some parallels, but can’t think of a parallel solution.
Involvement in the market by the government only serves to interfere with market signals and creative destruction; no matter how well-intentioned the intervention is. I think I’ve heard you cover this in past podcasts, and was reminded of another government intervention by a friend that was particularly interesting to those living in Missouri.
We store 1.4 billion pounds of cheese in Missouri caves!! I had no idea. Interesting example of Government intervention and waste.

Insurance is a great idea. Government subsidized insurance sounds cheesy. 😏
But if you’re trying to run a farm and compete within our current system I’d imagine you’ll jump at the opportunity. Just like you’d use glyphosate to increase crop yields. How else can you compete in our system. Also reminds me Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe) comments on not being able to change a bad system from within. Not suggesting a solution aside from these discussions and consumer education. Just hoping we can find a way to support our local producers and provide healthier food and topsoil.
